Los Angeles, CA (FEB 9th, 2025)- Three people were hurt in a collision after a brief police chase ended in a crash in the Vermont Square neighborhood of South Los Angeles on Saturday evening. The crash, which involved a police vehicle, left three women injured at the intersection of Vermont Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
According to Los Angeles Police Department Officer J. Chaves, the pursuit began at approximately 7:43 p.m. and lasted only a minute before the collision. Officers had been chasing a driver suspected of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However, details regarding whether the women involved were bystanders or connected to the pursuit remain unclear.
Emergency medical personnel were called to assess and treat the injured women. Reports confirm that all three victims were conscious and breathing following the crash. However, whether they were transported to a hospital for further evaluation has not been confirmed. Authorities have also not disclosed if any officers in the police vehicle sustained injuries during the incident.
Compensation for the Victims
Individuals injured in an accident involving law enforcement may be entitled to compensation for their injuries and damages. In cases like this, the victims could pursue claims for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. If the police were found negligent—such as by engaging in an unsafe pursuit or failing to follow proper procedures—the victims may have grounds for a personal injury claim against the city or police department. Compensation could also cover long-term rehabilitation costs if the injuries require ongoing treatment.
